Friday Finish…

My Homespun Basket Quilt is finished…and will probably get hung in my sewing room where I can fully enjoy it!

P1240086-001 

I big stitched hand quilted around each basket and then machine quilted on the borders.  I kept it as simple as possible.

She is done!  There’s something about Homespuns that warms my heart!  I like her…I like her a lot!

Have a wonderful Friday..maybe with a few finishes coming your way too!~P

  1. I like how you used the big stitch first, I was thinking of doing that with some of the quilts I have since they have long strips and that would be easier to machine quilt.

  2. Looks very cosy. Even on the wall it should make you feel warm. :-)

  5. I love homespuns too. A quilt using homespuns always feels warm and cuddly, and these baskets will look great on a wall in your newly expanded sewing room. Pretty soon, you'll have all your UFO's busted.

  8. I need to get some neutral background fabrics so I can make a quilt like this out of the stack of homespuns that have been on the shelf for over ten years. This quilt is darling!

  15. BEautiful! There is something about the big stitch hand quilting that is very attractive... I"ll most likely use that technique on the quilt I'm working on now. Love those homespuns too!
